Publisher's Synopsis
Camping appears to be a simple proposition, a time-honored way of getting away from it all. Pack up the car and hit the road in search of a shady spot in the great outdoors. For a modest fee, reserve the basic infrastructure--a picnic table, a parking spot, and a place to build a fire. Pitch the
tent and unroll the sleeping bags. Sit under the stars with friends or family and roast some marshmallows. This book reveals that, for all its appeal, the simplicity of camping is deceptive, its history and meanings far from obvious.
I have been a fan of RV camping for the past two decades. All I do is travel around in my campervan, sampling the best destinations our beautiful country has to offer. America is a rich and one of the most diverse countries in the world. It is probably the only country that offers you the chance to see the world from a single focal point.
With all its beauty, America is also one of the most expensive countries to live in the world. The cost of accommodation can break your bank account in a day. This makes it difficult for most people to travel around and enjoy the beauty that the country has to offer. Staying in a hotel room for a week can easily wipe out most average American's salaries. This calls for innovation and creativity.
In the past decade, more people have realized that traveling across the country in RVs and motorhomes is a convenient way of seeing the county while cutting on accommodation costs. Traveling in RVs is more adventurous than flying or traveling on a train. With an RV, you have the freedom to stop anywhere you feel attracted to and enjoy the beauty that the countryside has to offer. You can spend the night in any town and kick off the journey the following day at your convenience.
In my book, I will show you:
- Common Terms Used in RV Camping
- Types of RV Campers and Their Advantages
- State Parks Open to RV Camping (in all 50 states)
